Chapter 245 Talking about the price
Among the previous rewards, there was an item with a business card-shaped image with the relevant person in charge of Unigroup Group and his phone number.
According to Jiang Bo's inference, Smith should have wanted to sell this equipment to Unigroup before, otherwise there would be no contact information of the buyer of Unigroup in his bounty.
Therefore, Jiang Bo has reason to think that before this, Smith had already received a deposit from the people of Unigroup.
Of course, this is just his unilateral guess, what if there is no?
Jiang Bo's eyes narrowed slightly: "Contact them first. If it doesn't work, then let Ma Jingping find another home."
Anyway, the lithography machine is now in my hands, and it is the reward Smith transferred to him, and no one can take it away.
As for whether Smith had a deposit transaction with the people of Unigroup before, Jiang Bo did not care or recognized it.
Soon, he called the phone on the business card.
...
Shanghai, Unigroup Headquarters.
In the office of Vice President Yang Han, he was listening to Wang Feng, the manager of the purchasing department, report an emergency.
Because Unigroup had joined Smith a few months ago, if nothing unexpected happens, both parties will be able to complete a secret transaction around December 1.
Unigroup can also get a top-level euv lithography machine cut from TSMC from Smith, that is, an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.
It is said that this extreme ultraviolet lithography machine is also the latest model of Asml Company, and the most production-capable lithography machine, and is the pinnacle of global lithography machine technology.
The production capacity of one mobile phone chip can reach hundreds of millions of pieces per year.
As a large domestic crystal foundry enterprise, although the qualifications and background of Unigroup are not as good as Huaxin Group, it has always been developing with the development goal of catching up with Huaxin and relying on TSMC.
Therefore, when we saw that Huaxin bought two top-level EUV lithography machines from Asml in the first half of this year, the senior executives of Unigroup could not sit still and said that we could not let Huaxin dominate the country, and we must catch up.
Joining Smith and getting the latest model of lithography machine is one of the most important tasks of Unigroup Group this year.
The vice president took the lead in Yang Han.
But no one expected that Smith would lose contact half a month ago. In any case, Unigroup could not contact him.
This made Yang Han and the senior executives of Unigroup shocked and cursed MMP in their hearts, "What's the situation? Didn't you say it well before? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Are you fooled?"
Now that Smith is missing, the EUV lithography machine cannot be obtained, it is impossible to buy it directly from Asml.
They don’t sell it at all, and the Dutch official does not approve the documents. Even if the asml company wants to sell it, it will not dare to sell it.
For Unigroup, this blow made them very distressed. Originally, they had already formulated a development plan for this euv lithography machine.
But now, I can’t buy a lithography machine, so what’s the plan is useless?
In the office, after listening to Wang Feng’s report, Yang Han jumped up and a sharp light shot out of his eyes.
"Manager Wang, the news is true?"
Wang Feng hurriedly said: "Vice General Yang, it's true. I received a call from the other party ten minutes ago. I was a little confused at first, but after confirming it again and again, I found that the other party was not joking."
As he said that, Wang Feng quickly took out his cell phone, pointed to the screen and said, "Look, this is a photo of the lithography machine sent by the other party, as well as model parameters."
Yang Han took the phone and looked at it, and said excitedly: "It is indeed an Asml euv lithography machine, model 3400c, yes, it's it! What does the other party say?"
Wang Feng replied: "He said that if we want this lithography machine, we will go to Bangkok within three days. Moreover, he wants cash transactions, not to go on credit, and if he has no money, he doesn't have money."
"Is it a cash transaction? This is not a problem." Yang Han smiled and shouted outside the door, "Xiao Han, come in."
Yang Han’s assistant Han Yanhua quickly entered the office.
Yang Han ordered: "You can apply for your passport to Bangkok immediately and book your air ticket. You can fly to Bangkok within three days."
"OK."
...
Unigroup has delayed some connections and has applied for passports and visas very quickly.
On December 4, Yang Han, Wang Feng, Han Yanhua and two experts in inspection equipment arrived in Bangkok together.
Afterwards, the five of them quickly arrived at the warehouse where lithography machines were stored in Bangkok Port according to the address given by Jiang Bo.
In front of the warehouse door, after seeing Jiang Bo, Yang Han stepped forward and smiled enthusiastically, "You are Mr. Jiang, right?"
"That's right, it's me." Jiang Bo nodded and smiled.
The fake identity he had in Bangkok had been abandoned by Jiang Bo. In this transaction with Unigroup, he did not intend to conceal his name because he could not hide it.
When transferring money in a bank, they will always know what they know, so it is better to be more frank.
"Great, I finally met you. I am Yang Han, vice president of Unigroup. This time I am responsible for negotiating the transaction of lithography machines with you." Yang Han said: "We have arrived in Bangkok within three days as per your request. I wonder if we can check the goods first?"
Jiang Bo walked in front: "Of course, come with me."
Because of his extraordinary force, Jiang Bo did not arrange for bodyguards to do the rehearsals and was not afraid of being criticized. Moreover, the fewer people knew about this kind of transaction, the better.
After taking Yang Han and others into the warehouse, the two experts quickly inspected the euv lithography machine.
More than ten minutes later, one of the experts came over and whispered to Yang Han: "Vice President Yang is indeed the latest model of ASML company's lithography machine, and all kinds of data are in line with each other."
When Yang Han heard this, he was overjoyed, his eyes flashed a few times, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
After adjusting his mood, Yang Han walked to Jiang Bo and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, our experts have confirmed that this lithography machine is indeed the one we want.
As for why it is in your hands, we will not ask about this. Now, we just want to buy this lithography machine from you, so you can offer a price."
Jiang Bo smiled slightly: "Mr. Yang is quick and easy to say, OK, since that's the case, I'll give you a suitable price, 1 billion."
Is this what you call the right price?
Yang Han's face shook fiercely and said with a smirk: "Mr. Jiang, you are joking. Although this lithography machine has a high technical content, we do need it, but 1 billion is a bit expensive..."
Jiang Bo said casually: "I remember Huaxin bought two 3400b lithography machines before, and each one cost more than 800 million yuan.
This 3400c is still higher than the 3400b in terms of production capacity, efficiency, and technology.
With this level of lithography machine, no matter where it is placed, it is always a hot item. Buying 1 billion is not too high, what do you think?"
Yang Han moved his mouth and didn't think about how to refute Jiang Bo for a while.
Seeing this, Wang Feng hurriedly smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Jiang, Huaxin's lithography machine is counted in import tariffs. You are not responsible for transportation. We have to bear the transportation fee and import value-added tax. We cannot calculate it like this."
